I went through a really big break up last year, and had a horrible time dealing with it and turned to things I shouldn't have turned too. I lost am man I loved and was going to marry, who suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to do what was best for me- then shortly after got with someone else. I lost alot of friends and felt very alone through the whole process. My best friend abandoned me along with many other close friends!!!
As the holiday season is approaching again, I feel like all of my old feelings are coming back. I was so numb with drugs and alcohol last winter, that i stopped noticing how bad i really felt-- well now I am sober and realizing how bad I feel. I just didn't realize that I still cared this much about him and am still so deeply hurt.
My question to everyone--- has anyone been in similar situations, if so, how have you dealt?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Ironically her leaving helped me to deal with that better, partly because of her enabling/controlling personality not being present, and ultimatly because I was't ready to face some of my pain before that (so I take 100% ownership of my problem).
I think the number one helper is learning to love yourself and set healthly boundries, if you have lost him when you heal you can have a happy relationship with someone someday. So part of the healing is letting go of the past and hopeing and working for a better future.
I hope you find the strength to face your pain, cry, get angry, or what ever else you need to do to heal. If you relapse again don't kick yourself just get determined and get back up dust yourself off and find strength again there is healing, it is a process.
Your worth fighting for, so fight kick and scratch your way to healing.
BIIIIG HUG! Feel free to shoot me a message if you need to vent :)
So for the next 5 years in recovery I had old feelings bouncing out all over the place, so many I didn't actually know what was what- but I finally started learning something very vital to being able to live life on life's terms.
I finally experienced SERENITY for the first time in my life and Hell I liked it.
So I keep doing what I learned to do.
Congrats to all who are living alcohol free for today.
